Previous Experience
Chavioleyette Fenelus, affectionately known as “Chay,” is a Virginia-based attorney specializing in tax, business, and estate planning. A cum laude graduate of Liberty University School of Law, she is currently pursuing an LLM in Taxation to further refine her expertise. Chay’s mission is to help individuals and businesses protect their life’s work through a client-centered, holistic approach to problem-solving. She blends legal knowledge with a deep understanding of her clients’ personal and financial goals, crafting tailored strategies to meet their unique needs.
Chay’s foundation in law is strengthened by her coursework in Business Tax, Accounting and Finance for Lawyers, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Wills, Trusts, & Estates. She also holds a Master’s in Executive Leadership and a Bachelor’s in Criminology, Law & Society with minors in Intelligence Analysis and Legal Studies. Her diverse academic background informs her strategic approach to safeguarding her clients’ achievements and planning for their future.
With hands-on experience as a small business owner and financial officer in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Chay brings a practical understanding of the complexities of tax compliance and business operations. Her professional journey includes internships with the Virginia Office of the Attorney General, a clerkship with the Supreme Court of Virginia, and volunteer work with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, where she prepared tax returns for underserved communities.
Chay is committed to empowering her clients and making legal services accessible and understandable. Her dedication extends to pro bono work and community service through her sorority, reflecting her passion for giving back.
In her personal life, Chay enjoys traveling, shopping, and exploring the arts, including a newfound interest in Broadway shows. Married and deeply connected to her sorority sisters, she values relationships and experiences that enrich her life and professional perspective.
During her law school matriculation, Claudia served as the senior editor for her university’s journal and as a board member of the Trial Advocacy team, experiences that helped cultivate her comfort and passion for the courtroom and litigation.
She also served as a fellow for the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus before graduating cum laude from law school. Before entering private practice, Claudia clerked for a district attorney’s office and a “big law” firm specializing in defense litigation. Ultimately, she chose to start her own practice to provide a standard of representation she felt was missing.
She is the founding partner of The Payne Firm and has assisted more than 150 families. In her first year as a licensed attorney, she completed a second-degree murder trial that resulted in a favorable verdict for her client. Her firm currently has over $8 million in pending personal injury and wrongful death cases, some in partnership with the state’s largest firms.
Claudia also serves as a council member for the Louisiana State Law Institute, an honor bestowed on only nine recent law graduates statewide.
A small-town native, Claudia understood the power of perseverance at an early age. Outside the courtroom, she enjoys spending time with her family, often around a table of great food, and traveling.
